Write a general post

A general post is for anything that isn't a question, a request or a recommendation: news, a warning, a lost pet, a thank-you to the street.

1. Open the composer

   In the app, tap + at the bottom and pick any row, then switch the type to Post. On the website, open Ask your street from the menu under your photo and pick Post (“Anything for your street”).

2. Write it

   The app asks “What's happening on your street?” Say what happened, where and when.

3. Add photos if they help

   Tap + on the card in the app, or open the + menu on the website, and add up to 10 photos.

4. Post it

   Tap Post in the app, or Post to your area on the website.

The five post types

To host an event, use Plan an event on the app's + sheet, or the Event tab on the website. Both open the events form. See Host an event.

Polls and group buys aren't post types. They only work inside a circle's chat. See Polls.

Tips from the composer

• Warnings help most with a street name.
• Be kind. Neighbors read this.

Before you post, check who sees your post. If you leave half-way, you can save a draft.

The fields

There's no title field. The first line of your post is used as its heading.

For every field and its limits, see The post form, field by field.
